CAUL
is the new album from Last Harbour. After working with
producer Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Spacemen 3,
Ghostpoet) on two previous albums, the band took time out
after touring to build their own studio in 2013. This new
album was recorded in that self-created space over a year
between 2013-4 and bears testament to a patient and
detailed recording process that allowed time for
experimentation and careful arrangement.

CAUL contains all of
the band’s trademark bruised laments and doom-filled rock,
but there is also an added layer of raw, bleak
experimentation that marries ideally and simultaneously
with brighter, almost joyous moments. The progression on CAUL
from that of its predecessor, Your
Heart, It Carries the Sound, is clear. There is a
new focus, a need to explore, a quest to push further into
the void.
